I think the Touch Bar is so stupid. I think Apple made it with the hopes that software developers would come up with ways to use it but no one ever did. Plus I much prefer the feel of tactile keys.
Work is trying to get me to upgrade my Late 2013 MBP so I'm in a bit of a bind right now. The new M1 processors look very impressive but there's no support for virtualization right now and I need it to do my work. VMWare has said they're working on it, but who knows how long that will take. My options now are either to stall until there's a virtualization option or to go with an Intel MBP, which I think is way more than I need for a work laptop. I mean I stalled long enough until Apple came up with a better keyboard solution, so maybe I can hold out some more
